Opinion: My first digital camera, this was a fabulous product compared to others on the market. The 28-140mm equivalent lens was high quality and the wide end is perfect. Of course 1.5MP is outdated by today's standards, but it took good enough shots for the family photo album. One great feature is time lapse photography. I'm still waiting for a high end camera to included this feature. It was great at parties and events were I just set it up to take a picture once every 30 seconds.

Problems: No

Opinion: Wow, I cannot emphasize how much I like this camera. It has a great slr feel. The Manual Focusing Ring and Zoom ring are the best thing about this camera. You can take toal control over your shots. Though it only has a 1.5 mp sensor, it takes awsome shots. Full aperture priority. This camera lets me totally and fully adjust teh depth of field, letting me take awsome sports and nature photos. ALSO this camera is SO great, it takes nearly ALL forms of removable storage. Including PC card memory. I currently have a 160 mb pccard and a 128 CF card and the NP550 battery still has a bunch of power left after i have filled them up.

Problems: The only thing(s) i did not enjoy about this camera was its Slow and weak Auto Focus .. but hey, that's why they put that nice big manual focus ring on there :) Also I wish it would have a better sensor (4 or 5 mp), a Better ISO range, and a more vast shuuter speed range (30 sec, bulb, - 1/10000) would be nice. other than that. AWSOME CAMERA!!

Opinion: I purchased this camera almost two years ago, and paid 995.00 which was a good price at the time. Since then I have seen cameras from Minolta, Nikon and a couple of others that offer 4 and 5 times the pixel quality, more zoom and better features for the same price or less today.

I purchased a Sony because of there reputation with TV's and VCR's however I have friends who have already replaced the Sony cybers shots cameras, I am just about ready to do the same.

Problems: The view finder, you may have already heard this, frankly, sucks. Manual mode leaves alot to be desired, and the camera strugles with low lighting.

Opinion: I own two of these now. True SLR saves battery life. Totally automatic or manual, or combination of auto/manual features. Super camera. I am professional photographer, and for digital camea, its perfect in all respects. For the money you can't beat it. Anyone want to sell theirs, email me.

Problems: None after 10,000+ pictures so far.

Opinion: I use dsc 770 for my job since the begining (i had to wait for it), very pleasant and good image quality, but...

Problems: A big problem with focus, I returned immediately 2 dsc 700 for focus problem & I receive in exchange the new 770. But after six month, same focus problem again, impossible to get a good picture in manual focus, when it's good on viewfinder result it's fuzzy. . I also don't get the same focus on the screen as through the view finder...
The only way to get a good image it's with autofocus on, so sllooowwlly (uncomparable with my eos1 or eos5..)
I'm feed up about that whit it and I'm waintinf for a eos D30

Opinion: I recently purchased this camera, and I love it! Albeit, the picture comes out flat compared to other digital cameras, There is nothing like having control of the zoom and focus by turning the ring.

In my opinion:

Pros:
Full manual controls, sleek design, easy to navigate, price, and ability to use other memory instead of only the Sony Memory Stick..

Problems: Cons:
Manual focusing may need getting used to through the viewfinder, or LCD, resolution, saturation is not as bright as other digital cameras..
